As White House Spins, Liberals Vent Over Solicitor General

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Thursday the president was “pleased” with the performance of Solicitor Gen. Donald Verrilli Jr., who argued for the Affordable Care Act this week before the Supreme Court:

REPORTER: Just one on health care. I know your colleague got a lot of questions about this yesterday, but I’m wondering now that the arguments are done, can you enlighten us at all about how the president thinks the arguments went?

JAY CARNEY: The president is pleased with the presentation made by Don Verrilli, the Solicitor General, and his team. The President believes that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional. He agrees with the opinions of conservative judges who have said the same thing about the Affordable Care Act, that it’s constitutional.
